The Petsafe Instant Pet Panel for Sliding Glass Doors
was originally developed by Pet-Eze in the 1980's. Named the "Insta-Panel" Portable Pet Panel, It was available in three sizes--corresponding to the current Petsafe Classic series small, medium and medium/tall-- and, together with the Pet-Eze Deluxe 81 panels, constituted what was certainly the most advanced patio pet door offering of the day. Unlike the Deluxe 81 panels, the "Insta-Panel" did not include a locking cover.
Pet-Eze, later known as US Pet Products, was bought out by Petsafe at the turn of the century and continued this pet door with some changes. The sizes offered were reduced to the single medium/tall. But the adjustment range was broadened to 76 3/4"" to 81" from its original 78 1/2" - 80" which significantly broadens the number of sliding glass doors that it will fit.
The Petsafe Instant Panel, the Petsafe Freedom panels and the Petsafe Deluxe panels have spring-loaded height adjustments. The difference in the case of the "Instant" version is that there are thumb screws to lock the springs in place after installation. Thus no tools are required to install this patio pet door.
The glass is regular 1/8" tempered and this is still no locking cover. It is not available for over sized patio doors or for short patio doors. The only frame color offered is satin aluminum.
Because the step-over dimension is so short, this panel is a particularly good choice for someone who has a fairly small older or arthritic dog who needs a smaller step-over.
Petsafe products may not be shipped outside the USA.
